CityCouncil | 2016-10-04 | 12 | Mayor Spencer inquired what would be the acceptable standard of care. Vice Mayor Matarrese responded after the standard and cost are received, then the City can have a discussion; on the Annual Report there is no standard and he does not have a reference or information about the standard. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she does not want to support anything that would support a lower kill rate; inquired if the target is a financial target; stated she does not want to change the live release rate; cuts could be made in other areas. Councilmember Oddie stated there is a certain service level at the animal shelter; there could be a different service level and cost for that service level. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the starting point should be to maintain and improve the current level of service, but be ready to deal with costs. Councilmember Daysog stated said idea is the same as the original motion: to aim high and make adjustments if there is a contingency plan. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the motion is giving staff more latitude to address relocation or modernizing the facility. Councilmember Daysog stated as part of the negotiations staff should be prepared to ask about the follow up steps. At the request of Council, the City Clerk repeated the motion. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated a standard has not been identified, only the performance; Council needs to know the cost to maintain the performance if it is above the standard or to bring the standard up if it is below the standard. Mayor Spencer stated the motion is similar to the previous motion. Vice Mayor Matarrese responded he added having a third party consultant. Mayor Spencer responded that the addition of the consultant could have been a friendly amendment. Councilmember Oddie called for the question. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft, Councilmember Oddie and Vice Mayor Matarrese - 3. Noes: Councilmember Daysog and Mayor Spencer - 2. At the request of Council, the City Clerk repeated the motion. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council October 4, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-10-04.pdf |
